Tonight's ONT Is Tripping The Light Fantastic

Hello gray box people! Welcome to Thursday night. Down here in God's country, the weather is definitely turning to spring. The “average date of last frost” is March 15, which mean all my warm weather crops can go out. I'm not used to planting stuff this early, but the cold hardy veggies have been in the ground for a month. Anyone got any spring plans? Maybe planning to hit the road and see this great country in comfort and style?

Inflation

Let's talk about inflation.

Not an obvious misprint like the picture above, but real, honest to goodness inflation. Where have you seen the worst examples of it? How is it impacting your lives? I know that personally speaking, February was the worst month I've had in my career. Now normally in an economic downturn I stay pretty busy, people are looking for ways to trim their insurance bills while still maintaining the protection they need, but last month I had more than 20 people make appointments to discuss their options and then stand me up when I tried to keep them. Ghosting appointments happens in this business, but not at that rate, and I'm wondering: Is it just an aberration or are folks deciding they have to forego insurance entirely? I dunno, but it's weird that they would make appointments in the first place if that's what they're thinking. So I throw it to the Horde: How have your buying habits changed since the start of the year?

It's The Culture

It's the Culture, Stupid

It is important to note that the country moved center-right in both of those elections despite all of the pressure from these cultural curators to shame them not to -- from the "hate has no home here" signs in neighbors' windows to the stigmas about masks to the attempts to criminalize all parents (not just the handful that got out of hand) for expressing their concerns at school board meetings.
People grew weary of having everything they thought, did, bought and wore being called racist. That goes for black people, white people and Hispanics who are deeply frustrated that our politics and culture are constantly trying to pit them against each other -- people are simply just done.
Ask any suburban parent (mother or father) who has spent hours driving back and forth to swim meets and soccer practices for their daughters how they feel about women's sports today that have biological males crushing females in meets and tournaments.
If you think that hasn't pushed them center-right, you haven't listened to them.
If you think the violent crime epidemic in our cities hasn't pushed people center-right, then you haven't paid attention to the diversity of new gun owners who purchased their first guns in the past two years to protect their homes and their families -- or have moved out of those cities.

There's an interesting point that is mentioned in passing but not specifically: In an election which the country as a whole moved pretty significantly to the right, Joe Biden “got” 81 million votes. Makes you go “Hmmmm”, doesn't it?

Now, what the Reds say is immaterial to me. Frankly, if this war winds up crashing the ruble and cratering Russia's economy, it couldn't happen to a better group of folks. But it is interesting that the Russian ambassador said this (which the article of course calls ”parroting Trump's false election fraud claims” ) on the floor of the UN.

Truly some spine tingling airfields at the link. I like the one in Scotland that's actually just a beach they land planes on – and if you show up at the wrong tide it's underwater.

Thursday Night Game

Juvenile subway art philosophy or not, there are a lot of words with other words in them. You can't have a slaughter without laughter, and we all want to know who puts the fun in funeral, but what are some of your favorites?

Covid News

Official data: Fully vaccinated people account for 9 of 10 COVID deaths

Small sample size and a brief reporting period, so make of it what you will. I will note that the UK is 75% vaccinated, if the vaccine did absolutely nothing you'd expect 75% of deaths to be in vaxxed folks. Any number higher than this is....curious.

Musical Interlude

Of course, none of that matters because Joey Choo-choo has now solved the whole issue, so tonight's musical selection goes out to our old pal COVID-19, from its friends in the mainstream media:

Sorry chum, you're last year's news. Don't let the door hit you where the Wuhan virologists split ya'.

Wait! Not So Fast!

Before we say goodbye to COVID, we should remember this one last bit:

Did You Notice What Was Ridiculous About FEMA's Nuclear Attack Advice?

In the event of a nuclear attack, this is the US government's advice is to......maintain social distancing:

“Go to the basement or middle of the building, Stay away from the outer walls and roofs. Try to maintain a distance of at least six feet between yourself and people who are not part of your household. If possible, wear a mask if you’re sheltering with people who are not a part of your household.”

Where's the part about putting a textbook over your head?

Libs On Guns

Op-ed fails to understand realities around guns and schools

Not everyone understands why we’re fighting for that, though, which is made clear by a student op-ed titled: “Protect Students, Not Guns.”
Let’s start with this framing. While the author may not have penned this particular headline–those are often changed by editors, after all–the idea here is that it’s an either/or thing and everyone sees it that way.
We don’t. We see it as protecting students with guns.
See, shootings are happening despite all the various gun control laws on the books. We recognize that won’t change, either. So, we want to empower good, decent folks to be able to protect themselves with their own guns and, by extension, protect others.

There's never been a school shooting that was stopped by a strongly worded editorial.

Mister We Could Use A Man Like Warren G Harding Again

How Liberals Unfairly Maligned Warren G. Harding

Harding came into office with a country in the throes of real problems: the end of World War I, the fight over the League of Nations, Woodrow Wilson’s stroke, the terrible and violent events of 1919, the severe economic downturn of 1920. The tribulations were serious yet he returned the country to normalcy in short order:
–His program of laissez faire conservatism revived the American economy from the “forgotten depression,” leading to the most prosperous decade in US history, an era with average annual growth rates of 7 percent. He slashed taxes, regulations, and government spending, and created the Budget Bureau, which gave the federal government a comprehensive budget for the first time. The country ran a budget surplus every year and one-third of the national debt was paid off. Statistics also reveal that every class of citizen benefited throughout the “Roaring Twenties.”
– After several years of unrest, Harding restored domestic tranquility, ushering in an era of peace and prosperity. He pardoned war resisters, pushed for anti-lynching legislation, and urged equal rights for black Americans, the first 20th century president to do so. He created the Veterans Bureau to help the hundreds of thousands of wounded American servicemen returning from the war in France.

I stand by my oft repeated opinion that Calvin Coolidge was this country's greatest president since Washington, but Cal and Harding were peas in a pod. Coolidge's presidency continued his predecessor's policies (without the scandals, which Harding had little to with anyway) in the way Bush the Elder's didn't. Interesting factoid: Harding and Coolidge responded to the 1920 depression in exactly the right way: they let it clear out the garbage in the system and the resulting bounce back is now known as the Roaring 20s. The biggest dissenting voice in his cabinet came from his Sec Commerce, who wanted a full blown government intervention – price and wage controls, massive spending, etc..- and Harding said no. Who was this misguided man? Herbert Hoover, who became president when Coolidge didn't run for reelection. When Black Friday happened, he got to do all of those things – and created the Great Depression. FDR was just Hoover on steroids.

46 Harding was a very good President - I am a little prejudiced about that, I must admit. But he took over after the Wilson progressive disaster and turned this wreck of a country into the roaring twenties. Coolidge was another really top President that can't be praised enough.

Hoover was, let's face it, a complete and total idiot. His pollical instincts were bad, he had no ideas except government trade interventions, and he was aloof to the suffering of the common man. And, as we all know, it only takes one idiot to ruin it for conservatives for decades. The Left can elect shithead after doofus shithead and never suffer. We get one shot at it. Thanks Hoover...

My dog has a heart murmur, so I'm spending $183 per month on meds. I don't know how that has been affected by inflation, because the heart meds are new. The Revolution dose has gone from $18 not that long ago to $23, for a one month dose.

Om Alghabra, Canada's Minister of Transport tweeted, "A charter aircraft that carried Russian foreign nationals has been held at the Yellowknife airport. We will continue to hold Russia accountable for its invasion of Ukraine."

Not war criminals, not military, random people from a nation they don't like.

In the comments they're saying this is because Canadian airspace is closed to Russia, but the aircraft is owned by an Austrian company and is chartered in the Caymans. The Canadian skies are closed to random Russians.

Well, you eat some of the bad meat and supplement with edamame, lentils, black beans, green peas, hubbard squash, brussel sprouts, etc (all of those have 5g of protein or more per serving with edamame at 33.15g in 1 cup)...

You don't give up the meat, but if it's too pricey to buy what you like or a full meal amount, it's better to not skip it entirely, but to buy what you can and supplement with the cheaper veg right now (b/c all veg is cheaper than beef right now)...

170 In possible inflation-related news, Pookette's school sent out an email this morning stating that the local can redemption center is "making changes" and therefore we currently can't turn in cans. Five cents a can might not seem like a lot, but every few weeks, our small family was hauling several bags of empty cans to the trailer. The money went toward the school's technology fund (replacement cords, mice, etc), so I don't know what they're going to do for that now.

175 In the event of a nuclear attack, this is the US government's advice is to......maintain social distancing:

I know I’ve posted this before here, but it bears repeating. This is classic madness of crowds. Back in the seventies, Manitoba, Canada went a little crazy about kids possibly going blind due to looking directly at the sun during an upcoming total eclipse. Then, they went a lot crazy.

The advice went from "tell kids not to look at the sun without protection” to “only watch the eclipse on television” to “cover school windows with blackout curtains and keep the children inside”. And what if there’s a fire?

215 Russia invading Ukraine -- It's not as if Vlad hasn't been kvetching about the dissolution of the USSR since day one. I did a little research on Ukraine last week, and as close as I can tell Ukraine has been a fragmented mess divided up by many countries, including Russia and Poland, much, much more than it's been a united, autonomous country. Not to mention the outright corruption -- almost as bad as Russia itself. Burisma is a Ukrainian gas company, not Russian. I personally think not one American boot needs to be on the ground there.

232 188 My buying habits. I was going to get a new to me car this year. My car looks so bad but still runs. I am kind of embarrassed by it. Now, not going to happen. I will just drive my ugly, paid off car. I could probably afford a new to me car, but I would rather not right now.
Posted by: Quirky bookworm at March 03, 2022 10:37 PM (EbJ6H)

a thought - if we're headed into a very high inflation environment, and I think we are, it could be a good move to buy that car and borrow as much as you can while interest rates are still low, for as long a term as you can. In the late 70's, a lot of people who moved early made a killing this way.

High inflation environments create perverse incentives where everything becomes very counterintuitive. Those who take on the most debt and take the greatest risks tend to do the best, provided that they continually reinvest the proceeds.

303 While many liberal politicians are starting to back stricter gun control legislation, there lacks a direct focus on the protection of students which has resulted in over 292,000 students witnessing this sort of gun-driven terror at school before even reaching college-age. Lawmakers need to narrow their immediate focus toward banning guns from school grounds, K-12 and college campuses alike, especially as 2021 saw the largest number of school shootings in the past two decades.

This is a bullshit statistic. If there is a shooting within 1000 feet of a school it is counted as a school shooting, and all of the students inside counted as "exposed to gun violence"

I know what Putin should be worrying about: the Russian Stock Market has been shut down all week, and no one knows when or how it will reopen; people across the country are desperate for cash of any kind, as electronic access to funds is shut down and the ruble collapses; and internal inflation is already at 61% and accelerating. Russia's private sector is collapsing, across the board. So far, the Russian Government's only response has been to start arresting anyone internally who dares to say that something is wrong.

Sadly, the Ukraine will probably not survive this war, but increasingly, it's starting to look like Russia will not survive it, either. I can only pray that we do.

377 Howdy, All,

Honest question here:

When I was but a wee bairn, the movie "10" came out in 1979-80, in which Dudley Moore's character was infatuated with Bo Derek's character, whom the former deemed to be the perfect woman, or a "10" on a scale of 1 to 10. After this, a sufficiently hot woman was deemed to be a "10," and all women were judged accordingly, with a "1" thus designating an utter dog.

However, in recent threads on this site, this ranking seems to have been flipped, with many attractive women, e.g., Liz Taylor in Butterfield 8, being described as a "1," when clearly the commentor means to praise her beauty. So, does a "1" (formerly, a dog) now designate what used to be a "!0" on the scale of feminine pulchritude, with a a"10" now designating a dog?

396 With Spring descending, I finished pruning the front hedges this afternoon. They had all gotten overgrown. I did the backsides (facing house) back in late January and left the front sides (facing street) until another time then got lazy. February was a lot of cold overcast, damp chilly days. Now the sun is back and afternoon temps are moving up from 40's to 80's.

I hope I didn't wait too late and screwed up the bushes' Spring growth spurt. I need them to fill in from all the hacking I did.

After the end of WWII, with us on top, our guys set up the current international settlements regime (Bretton Woods), with the dollar as the international reserve currency. This means that international payments are settled in dollars, and the dollar was supposed to be pegged to gold, internationally.

Internally, there never a gold standard, but externally, it was. Until there was a run, and Tricky Dick ended that.

But the dollar remained the international reserve currency. This is what has allowed us to be so fiscally and monetarily irresponsible.

These lunatics are going to end that. If the dollar loses reserve status, we're all royally fucked. I mean Wiemar fucked.

441 Russian TV had someone with the Rosgvardia (national guard) force that went to Chernobyl. There was no shooting, Ukrainian employees were consulted and said all conditions remained normal, Russian and Ukrainian personnel were interacting in a normal manner. Still not sure why they bothered to go there, but in Russian press there was mention of alleged talk on Ukrainian side about "dirty bomb" options.

Russia and Ukraine will generally offer similar info in terms of reliability - limited, to none. It is indeed the way of their people.

Exactly. Though things did not reach truly reckless levels until relatively recently.

When the Euro first launched, I was among those who had (very, very faint) hope that it would succeed to some extent as a reserve currency, precisely because of the discipline that might re-introduce to US fiscal policy (at this point, it's more like "dysfunctional fiscal culture").

Oh well.

If this situation goes on very long, which I rather doubt, it may result in many countries thinking about back-ups and diversification when it comes to global financial mechanisms. And now there are enough players, of sufficient heft, to make such a trend significant.

Haven't had it yet, it's next on my list (and thanks to the above noted pricing situation I'll be getting it tomorrow or Saturday). Barbados, FourSquare/Richard Seale distillery, so no sugars of additives. Supposed to have some natural sweetness, be a bit lighter in body than Seale's 12-year, which is good and also usually under $30 - and which I'm about to pour.

Anyway, two inexpensive Barbados "pure" rums that edge a bit towards bourbon-ish but still very much rum. And that price for Doorly's should pass muster with the War Department.

And if you bought a solvent trap with the intention of filing form 1 to turn it into a silencer, you will be denied with the reasoning that the solvent trap is now considered a silencer, so it should have been on form 4 so you are now admitting to a felony that we just now invented.

I listened to and hated that song very much. Also the video. On the artistic merits alone. He's a fucking pussy with a whiny voice and he's not a good singer. The only place his voice would work is as a reedy castrato among many other, richer voices in some rich medieval Italian's choir. The instrumental is boring and desultory hipster pablum. Practically unbearable. If you think of it without the vocals, it's the sort of thing you'd hear in the rec area of a nursing home as you slip into the cold embrace of the grave.

But the subject matter is just as vile. It's the tale of a freaky looking borderline homo with Stage IV necrotic soydick, who treated some unfortunate lady like shit, so she dumped his ass. And now he's like "waaaah, wah, how come you don't like me no more, deeerrrrrp, and where are my records, bitch?! You know... Those Mumford & Sons records, waaaah!"

Gassed up the car on Tuesday at $4.25 a gallon (at the cheapest place around, one city over); today intended to top off the tank as I don't let it drop much below half a tank these days (figuring the price is just going to go up-up-up!) and gas at the cheap place is now $4.55. At this rate, I expect it to be up over $5 a gallon by next Wednesday.

Just reading (and this you probably won't hear the MSM talking about). Russia is alleging that Ukraine was working on nuclear weapons secretly.

It's not a trivial process by a long shot to get weapons grade material out of civilian power reactors. It can be done, but it would be obvious you were attempting that. At least as I understand things.

Unless they had some clandestine help giving them some material.

Is it possible our elites were stupid enough to do this with Ukraine? Russia is alleging that between the lines.

This actually is not quite like some vapid political hack demanding 3-degree, bank-angle indirect condemnation of something saucy by their political enemies, a particularly lame thing we've seen now from the racist-authoritarians for years.

The ridiculous unserious people like Graham, befitting an unserious country, are truly beclowning themselves.

It's also head-shaking how ignorant people are, and how they think Putin is somehow a fringe thinker on the issue of Ukraine's status and Russian security.

Stupid them, they listened to Obama.

To know Mannix is apparently eventually want to kill him, and with elaborate plots.

Watching an episode tonight, one of Mannix's Korean War mates is coming to kill 'em. And there was another who did the same thing.

And Mannix has old college and high school buddies who come back to kill him.

I mean Mannix is one tough SOB, a good guys, but I think he needs to examine this aspect. He must just rub people the wrong way.

554 I highly doubt that, given their embarrassing denuclearization deal, the Ukrainians suddenly grew the balls and brains to secretly spin up a dual use reactor.

But if they did, more power to them. So to speak.

It would be about impossible for the Ukes to spin up something like that on their own without being obvious. They'd need help -- they don't have the means to do a covert weapons program.

This is most likely all just Russian propaganda.

557 When we fight for our country we are simply continuing the efforts of those who preceded us to ensure the Republic's survival. It is our heritage and cannot be allowed to die.

This is why my belief in my country is unshakeable.

As I understand it, you can get weapons grade material out of a civilian power reactor, but it's not trivial, and the things you have to do would be obvious to anyone watching.

You've got short cycle it, for one thing, IIRC. What you'd need to do to get weapons material out would be very inefficient for power production.

561 I flew into Monterey Mexico airport in a DC9. He put the brakes on pretty hard after touchdown. After we stopped he turned around to go to the terminal and you could see we were right at the end of the pavement and the wing was out over the grass when we turned.

563 Today sucked-- septic tank needs pumped (since yesterday evening) and they can't get here until tomorrow. Rained all day, of course, as I had to dig around to expose the lid. I set up the portable commode last night.

Also, an augur motor died on the pellet stove today-- had a spare on hand, but the connectors were different so had to change them. Also, room-air blower wasn't working too well so pulled it and cleaned all the crap out of it. Disassembly is the *easy* part LOL. Such a cramped space!

Got a headache from leaning downward for too long, so not really bothered that I can't do the dishes or laundry yet.

Oh, and I gave up alcohol for Lent. That's why everything's going to sh1t.

565 552, Gourmand du Jour. I think it was Clinton, not Obama. I will not look it up but it was ages ago. I say screw the Ruskies.

I have studied their history formally in high school and college. No doubt their history is second only to Western Civ. Russian history has so much to it, so many contributions. But in the end, there is next to nil you would want to emulate. In a way, studying Russian history is a way to scare people straight

571 We actually have 2 separate septic systems because the house got an addition in the 70s. Original system still works but has a small tank so only 1 toilet goes to it. The sink and washer drain to a flowerbed.

Kitchen and upstairs bath go to new system, but hubby cannot make it upstairs "in time" so-- porto commode for him.

I *could* do laundry and dishes, but I'm claiming that I can't. So there, LOL

Yep. Scroll down to the bonus tweets. The picture of congress holding the bastardized American flag, and the eye patch wearing grinning loser top center. Crenshaw is more disappointing every day. Why doesn't he just switch parties already?

578 Hoover was the Republican Jimmy Carter....(allegedly) a nice guy, humanitarian, blah blah but, but a terrible President.

Coolidge is my favorite.

Posted by: Midnight Rambler at March 04, 2022 03:56 AM (8E8Am)

579 Mornin', all,

I'd always read that Hoover was accused of doing "nothing" about the onset of the Great Depression, not that he tried strong government intervention. Of course the same works always praised FDR for his strong government intervention.

I need to read more about Harding and Coolidge.

586 We had 2 septics the second one was a small tank in the back for the kitchen sink but the two willow trees in back plugged the field. I was able to run a drain externally to the cleanout for the sink and now can use a dishwasher. The back tank must have been only 20 gallon
